| Americans, I was a lifelong Republican and worked on Ronald Reagan and George Bush's campaigns. My grandparents were even invited to Reagan's inauguration. I vehemently opposed Obamacare when it became law, as I recently shared during my question to Paul Ryan during a televised CNN Town Hall. But then Obamacare saved my life. I took a new job and moved my family across the country -- but due to a glitch, my employer was unable to offer health care coverage. I lost my voice and ignored it for quite some time, thinking it was an allergy. My voice never returned, and I was having difficulty breathing, so my wife made an appointment with the doctor. I was diagnosed with stage III, borderline stage IV vocal cord cancer, and I had no health insurance. We offered cash upfront to pay for my treatments but were denied over and over again. We had always assumed that if you had money that you could get treatment. We were wrong -- six weeks away from being dead wrong! Although I had cancer, Obamacare gave me access to an insurance card, and I began receiving life-saving treatments the day my insurance plan took effect. I would be dead if it weren't for Obamacare, the same law I had so loathed. People across the country have received life-saving care, thanks to Obamacare. But that isn't stopping the House from moving forward with a vote to repeal the law, tomorrow. We can't allow that to happen. Join thousands of Americans who support quality, affordable coverage for every American. Add your name now and we'll follow up with ways you can take action right now. Now it is my time to give back and work on behalf of the legislation that saved my life, helping others to avoid the same pitfalls I had fallen into. Health care should not change with every new administration, and we should be able to rely on steady, affordable care with guaranteed patient protections. Access to timely treatment, affordable medication, and regular doctor visits are essential for every American. Obamacare allows people to take responsibility for themselves, purchase insurance, and pay for their own care. Repealing it with no adequate and immediate replacement will destabilize the health care market and leave millions of my fellow cancers survivors at risk in the future. Constant worry about having affordable care is an added stress that no patient needs. After my experience gaining health care through the Affordable Care Act, I began a Facebook page called "Obamacare Saved My Life." It has given me the opportunity to meet thousands of others who are reliant on Obamacare for coverage -- and they are terrified about the future. My wife and I share that same anxiety, even though I've been cured of cancer and am one of the lucky ones. It would only take one incident of cancer, one heart attack, one stroke, one bad car wreck, or a bad fall to join the ranks of those labeled as "pre-existing." It only takes one test to show that you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure to be thrown into that group with us. Americans now know what better health care is, and we should all demand it -- for the well-being of our citizens and our economy -- for America. Anything less is simply not an option. If you agree, make your voice heard now: https://my.ofa.us/Obamacare-Works Thanks, Jeff Jean Fat Bastardo's Op Ed: Insurance is not the problem Ryan you criminal lying fucking asshole. The problem is what the medical industry who owns your crooked ass is allowed to charge and your know you lying treasonous cancer deserving piece of shit. Jeff Jean offered to pay in CASH 3 time the amount of the life-saving surgery and 3 filthy criminal doctors turned him down. Like your treasonous lying Ryan they belong in front of a firing squad or placed in a guillotine feet first and chopped one inch at a time as soon as they are found guilty in a court of law.  Offices

Trump and the Bible
We live in an imperfect world with a huge imbalance of wealth and power. God is a God of justice and wants his people to make a difference in the world, standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves and sharing what we have with those who have nothing. Here are just 10 Bible verses showing what God requires of us. May they encourage and inspire you. Share them with your friends, too!
1. If in any of the towns in the land that the Lord your God is giving you there is a fellow-Israelite in need, then do not be selfish and refuse to help him. Instead, be generous and lend him as much as he needs.
(Deuteronomy 15:7-8)
(Deuteronomy 15:7-8)
2. I, the Lord, command you to do what is just and right. Protect the person who is being cheated from the one who is cheating him. Do not ill-treat or oppress foreigners, orphans, or widows; and do not kill innocent people in this holy place.
(Jeremiah 22:3)
(Jeremiah 22:3)
3. No, the Lord has told us what is good. What he requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God. (Micah 6:8)
4. Rich people who see a brother or sister in need, yet close their hearts against them, cannot claim that they love God.
(1 John 3:17)
(1 John 3:17)
5. Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don’t have enough to eat. What good is there in your saying to them, “God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!” – if you don’t give them the necessities of life?
(James 2:15-16)
(James 2:15-16)
6. Learn to do right. See that justice is done — help those who are oppressed, give orphans their rights, and defend widows.
(Isaiah 1:17)
(Isaiah 1:17)
7. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind; to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people.”
(Luke 4:18-19)
(Luke 4:18-19)
8. None of you should be looking out for your own interests, but for the interests of others.
(1 Corinthians 10:24)
(1 Corinthians 10:24)
9. Share your belongings with your needy fellow Christians, and open your homes to strangers.
(Romans 12:13)

(Romans 12:13)

10. Don’t take advantage of the poor just because you can; don’t take advantage of those who stand helpless in court. The Lord will argue their case for them and threaten the life of anyone who threatens theirs.

Jessie Ventura on the 1%
The 1% are the world's most wicked tyrants and oppressors who are fat more wicked than Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao or Saddam Huesien because they are the Plutocrats who own errand boy such as the aforementioned scumbags.
There was a time when the US used to help the oppressed as immortalized in this patriotic ballad.
Ballad of the Green Beret
by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler and Robin Moore, copyright 1966
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.
It occurs to me that there really aren't that many 1% and by definition, there are only 1% of them and they own over 50% of the world's wealth. They would be easy to get rid of for SEAL teams and other members of special forces and it is not like they would have to exterminate all of them. Take out 50 and tell the rest to give up their ill-gotten wealth or they will end up in the crosshairs of a SEAL sniper. It's either that or live in constant fear and be a prisoner of that fear. These people have no sense of morality. They are worse than some thug crack dealing bitch assed punk who would carjack your car and put a bullet in your head without a second thought. If you were on that fucker's jury you would have no problem convicting him and seeing him get the death sentence. The street thug is not above the law and the street thug may have mitigating circumstances that turned him into a street thug. The kleptocrat has no excuses for his immoral and criminal conduct. The kleptocratic members of the oligarchy are as soulless as sharks or an infestation of killer bees. If patriots with advanced training were to take them out and purge their DNA from the gene pool, I doubt if any moral people would complain.
Those Wells Fargo Criminals Will Never Face Justice
Wells Fargo Crooks Stole From Customers, Reaped Obscene Rewards—and Stuck Us With the Bill
 |
| Criminal oligarch John Stumpf, chief executive officer of Wells Fargo and likely pedophile. |
Until we start jailing and killing banksters, they’ll never stop doing it.
Update: On September 28, California State Treasurer John Chiang, who is running for governor, blasted Wells Fargo for “venal abuse of its customers” and announced that the state was “suspending business relations” with Wells Fargo for a year. This affects a significant profit center for Wells, the second-largest underwriter in California municipal debt in the first half of 2016. Chiang called on Wells CEO John Stumpf to resign and urged other states and municipalities to review their relations with the bank. Connecticut and the City of New York have already announced reviews. Bloomberg reports that federal prosecutors in New York and San Francisco have opened criminal inquiries. Wells Fargo faces a blizzard of lawsuits by fired workers, defrauded customers, and investors. Wells stock has lost 11 percent, or about $27 billion, in market value since the scandal broke, with more losses certain to follow.
“The business model of Wall Street is fraud,” Bernie Sanders proclaimed repeatedly on the stump. Wall Street’s big banks seem intent on proving his case. Most recently, Wells Fargo—whose CEO, John Stumpf, was celebrated as “banker of the year” by American Banker in 2013—has been fined $185 million for abusing its own customers. From 2011 to 2015, the company opened nearly 2 million bank accounts and more than 500,000 credit cards for customers who didn’t ask for them, engaging in fraud, identify theft, and forgery along the way. Its customers, as former Wells Fargo sales manager Beth Jacobson put it, were “all riding the stagecoach to hell.”
Wells Fargo executives touted the tactic of “cross-selling”: getting existing customers to buy the bank’s other products. To achieve this, executives set impossible quotas for sales personnel, called “team members.” Tellers and salespeople, often stuck in $35,000-a-year jobs, were told either to meet the quotas or lose their jobs. Bonuses were awarded to those who hit the sales targets—but the only way to meet them consistently was to cheat. When customers began to complain—after being charged fees for accounts they didn’t know they had, or seeing their credit ratings lowered for credit-card applications they didn’t know they’d made—the bank set up the proverbial “cover-your-ass” briefings with its salespeople: warning them not to cheat, but keeping the quotas in place. Under increasing scrutiny from regulators, Wells Fargo fired some 5,300 low-level employees—as much as 2 percent of its workforce—over a period of five years, claiming that the frauds had been committed by rogue team members.
That won’t wash. This was a classic case of what legendary bank investigator William Black calls “control fraud”: a scam set up and sustained by top executives, who earned a fortune from it. All of the signs are there, starting with the 2 million fake accounts, which simply couldn’t be opened by a few bad apples. Whistle-blowers were ignored and often fired. Senior executives raked in bonuses as the company’s stock rose, benefiting from the charade. Thousands of low-level employees were fired for the frauds, but we don’t know how many more were fired simply for not meeting the quotas.
The executive in charge reaped obscene rewards. Even as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was closing in, Carrie Tolstedt—Wells Fargo’s senior executive vice president of community banking, who was in charge of the 6,000 branches where the infractions took place—was allowed to retire quietly. Praised by Stumpf as the “standard-bearer of [the bank’s] culture,” Tolstedt was paid a total of $27 million over her last three years. She’s in line to take at least $100 million in stocks and options with her.
To add injury to that insult, taxpayers will subsidize those bonuses. Companies can only deduct salaries up to $1 million as a cost of doing business, but in a reform championed by “market-savvy” New Democrats in the Clinton years, bonuses and stock options above that— so-called “performance pay”—can be written off. Sarah Anderson of the Institute for Policy Studies estimates that for Tolstedt’s bonus, Wells Fargo can deduct the $78 million from its income, effectively giving itself a $27 million tax break. Over the past four years, Anderson reports, taxpayers have ponied up nearly $160 million in subsidies to the bank for such “performance pay” bonuses.
Stumpf ducked responsibility before the Senate Banking Committee, stating, “I do want to make it clear that there was no orchestrated effort, or ‘scheme’ as some have called it, by the company.” Senator Elizabeth Warren scorned his “gutless leadership” and asked, “If you have no opinions on the most massive fraud that has hit this bank since the beginning of time, how can it be that you get to continue to collect a paycheck?” Stumpf, who pocketed $19.3 million last year, responded, “I disagree with the fact that this is a massive fraud."
Fat Bastardo's op-ed: Stumpf, a likely Republican pedophile, disagrees that a proven fact is a proven fact. If I, Fat Bastardo were in the senate chamber Stumpf would be beaten into a coma and while he was in that coma, I would have smashed his thieving hands and burned out his lying tongue with a blowtorch.
Stumpf got scolded for a few hours by a bunch of industry errand boys. If I were in charge I would put a bounty on Stumph. The reward would be $5 million alive, $10 million dead and $20 million torutured to death.
Wells, like other big banks, has a rap sheet that would put a mob boss to shame. It has coughed up more than $10.9 billion in fines for crimes and abuses on mortgages and foreclosures; for misleading investors; and for participating in municipal-bond bid rigging, money laundering, and discrimination against black and Hispanic borrowers. As the largest employer and third-largest in assets among US banks, Wells is too big to fail. Stumpf has boasted that its success is rooted in “the community bank DNA” that supposedly animates the company. But as an American Banker commenter noted: “A community bank CEO having presided over a fraud proportionally this large would already have his assets frozen, be awaiting prosecution and have been personally fined a substantial amount of money.” Instead, Wells and other big banks, with few exceptions, have been allowed to settle without admitting guilt. And while the banks have paid hundreds of billions in fines, the bankers who profited got off scot-free. So long as those in the top suites are not prosecuted, the scams and the fraud will continue.Sanders had it right: Fraud is the business model. As The New York Times’s Gretchen Morgenson reported, Wells Fargo used some of the same tactics during the subprime-mortgage frenzy that blew up the economy: “dubious practices,” she says, that “seemed as pervasive then as the questionable account-opening scheme does now.”
Fat Bastardo's op-ed: The top slime balls at Wells Fargo broke the law but in fascist America, corporations get treated like people but the people who run these corporations get treated like they don't exist and in spite of their law-breaking none of them are every brought to justice so it someone get a little do it yourself justice on those fuckers I, Fat Bastardo will consider than person a hero and a patriot.
Wall Street money still corrupts our politics. But there are stirrings of change. The glaring injustice stokes the populist anger that is rattling the establishment in both parties. Politicians are getting the message. Stumpf found himself under searing attack from the Senate committee, with Warren, Jeff Merkley, and Sherrod Brown denouncing him. Warren called for his resignation, a clawback of bonuses, and criminal prosecution. Regulators were pushed to make criminal referrals. Republicans who have tried to neuter the CFPB wondered why it took so long to act.
With Stumpf facing a House hearing and the Labor Department ramping up an investigation of Wells’s abuse of its employees, the bank’s somnambulant board finally stirred itself, announcing the clawback of $41 million in compensation from Stumpf and $19 million in stock grants from Tolstedt. Neither will end up in the poorhouse: Stumpf already holds 5.5 million Wells shares, valued at about $247 million.
Fat Bastardo's op-ed: Asshole oligarchs like Stumpf think that they are insulated from the real world and real people because the don't live in the real world and they are not actual human beings. They think they are safe from citizen run militias, disgruntled employees, pissed off consumers, and former US Navy SEAL snipers.
Warren and Sanders, among others, have already put the next administration on notice that the old ways of doing business won’t cut it. As Warren noted, “Personnel is policy,” and she, Merkley, Brown, and Sanders are intent on jamming the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington, blocking, in Warren’s words, “advisers who just pay lip service to Hillary’s bold agenda, coupled with a sigh, a knowing glance, and a twiddling of thumbs until it’s time for the next swing through the revolving door.”
When the dust settles, Stumpf will no doubt be pushed out and retire a FILTHY rich COCKSUCKER man. But politicians are learning that there’s a cost to being in Wall Street’s pocket—and a potential benefit to taking the big banks on. The suites are still lawless, but a posse has begun to form.
Fat Bastardo's op-ed: Politicians, Republicans especially, come cheap. The corporations can hide bribes, kickbacks, and payoffs so that nobody knows they are happening. Unless and until the corporate criminals who commit crimes are brought to justice their crimes, which are crimes that exceed all other crimes in loss of lives and loss of treasure, their evil-doing will never stop.
Stumpf and his partners in crime and others like him belong in prison in America. In China, corporate gangsters whose crime result in the deaths of people get excuted by firing squad. Trash like Stumpf do business with foreign government who are hostile to America and Americans. That is treason and Americans who are found guilty of treason get executed by a firing squad. A quick and easy way to balance the budget would be to round up the corporate gangsters and oligarchs and confiscate their wealth. Then sell raffle tickets to patriots who would like to be on the firing squads that execute these gangsters. Personally, I prefer using the guillotine and I woul feed those fuckers in feet first one inch at a time

Another Trump Prostitute Sex Tape
CIA 'believes Russia has more than one Donald Trump sex tape and ...
The CIA believes Russia has "more than one" Donald Trump sex tape from , it has been reported.
The billionaire has angrily denied claims made by former British MI6 spy Christopher Steele that the Russian government is in possession of compromising material on him.
The explosive memo, leaked on Tuesday night, includes claims Trump hired a group of prostitutes to defile a hotel bedroom in Moscow where the Obamas had slept.
The FSB - the Russian spy agency - had secret cameras and microphones installed and caught the whole thing on tape, it was claimed.
In his first news conference as President-elect, Trump dismissed the reports as "fake news" and berated the American media for repeating the unverified claims.
But last night the BBC's Washington correspondent Paul Wood said he had been alerted to the existence of a Trump sex tape by a second source last August.
A retired spy also found about it from "the head of an East European intelligence agency"
Wood said he then tried to ask CIA contacts if the sex tape story was true.
He wrote: "I got a message back that there was 'more than one tape', 'audio and video', on 'more than one date', in 'more than one place' - in the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow and also in St Petersburg - and that the material was 'of a sexual nature'."
U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said he spoke with Donald Trump last night to discuss the media firestorm over the sex tape memo.
Clapper said he does not believe the US intelligence community leaked the document reportedly put together by former Brit spook Christopher Steele.
Steele fled his home in Surrey yesterday fearing a backlash from Moscow after his identity was revealed online.
A neighbor told The Telegraph he'd asked for his cat to be looked after while he laid low.
Sources reportedly say the 52-year-old is "terrified for his safety."
Steele is said to be a highly-respected Russian expert who spent many years in the British intelligence service before setting up his own private business.
Sources told The Times he worked with former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko who was poisoned with polonium-210 in London in 2006.
Litvinenko had worked for the Russian secret service the FSB but was forced to flee after criticising Vladimir Putin.
He was granted asylum in Britain where he was said to have been on the payroll of MI6.
An inquest ruled last year Litvinenko was murdered in an FSB operation, probably on the personal orders of Putin himself.
Steele was said to have been "surprised" by what happened to Litvinenko.
Litvinenko's wife Maria told The Times she didn't recognise Steele's name but said it was likely he used an alias.
"Sasha [Alexander] had some communication with people with different names, which could be why I can’t help,” she said.
Last night, senior British security sources revealed emergency measures were being taken to make Steele safe.
A source said: “Once his name came out the view was that he could be under threat so steps are being taken to protect him and put him in a more secure environment.”
British newspapers and media outlets were being asked not to name him until after 10pm on Wednesday to give him some leeway so he could be made safe.
That means it is possible he was being transported to an emergency safe house - which may be in a different country.
The source added: “The safest place for him is in Britain but it’s highly probable that MI6 will want to distance themselves from this as it was done commercially.
“He will likely plug into a well-established network of contacts and disappear for a while to a safe place or safe house with friends or contacts."
“Any protection will almost certainly be a police matter in terms of security but it is possible MI5 may be consulted about whether there is a threat to him here from Russia.
“Russia does have a history of exporting violence against people who act against its interests as we saw with former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko.”
It comes after a 35-page dossier of memos allegedly compiled by the ex-intelligence agent exposed allegations Donald Trump was reportedly bugged by Russian spies while in Moscow where he allegedly carried out “perverted sexual acts” in the presidential suite of a hotel.
It claimed he stayed at the Ritz Carlton Hotel and made prostitutes defile the bed knowing Barack and Michelle Obama had stayed there on a recent trip.
It is understood the allegations were pulled together the ex-spook who now heads a private company gathering intelligence but was reportedly used to be stationed in Russia in the 1990s.
The document claimed the Russians had bugged the president in order to blackmail him.
A diplomatic service list shows that the ex-spy was posted to the U.K.’s Moscow embassy in 1990 with the title of ‘Second Secretary’, serving under ambassador Sir Rodric Braithwaite.
However, it is not known how long he was posted at the embassy for.
Mr Steele is listed as a director of a private security and investigations firm in London, called Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd, on Linkedin.
